Present with Spain during these 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Georgia (Saturday, 8:45 p.m.) and Bulgaria (Tuesday, 8:45 p.m.), Marcos Llorente is making a lot of talk about him. However, it is not about an injury or a sporting feat.
The Atlético Madrid midfielder has rather stood out for statements, to say the least enigmatic, to the Spanish press. He has in fact made comments several times that are usually shared by conspiracy theories.
Very close to the far right, and in particular to MEP Alvise Pérez, Macros Llorente is renowned for his conspiratorial positions on social networks. The 30-year-old has notably shared images on Instagram several times that echo one theory in particular: that of “chemtrails.” »
“This is not normal”
“I say it very naturallyexplains the Spanish international to El Desmarque. I look at the sky and I have never seen this, a series of forty streaks that hide the sun and create clouds, this is not normal. » Marcos Llorente here refers to the contrails of planes in the sky. The chemtrails conspiracy theory describes this phenomenon as “the spreading of chemical and biological products carried out within the framework of covert operations with various motivations”according to the NGO Greenpeace.
In reality, it is more like water vapor “condensed due to the temperature difference created by the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings, wingtips or engines”still according to the NGO. Although all this has been proven for some time, the Atlético midfielder is not giving up. “Thousands of people are writing to me to thank me for making it public. I had never seen the sky like that before. I'm not the only one to say it, but I don't know what it is. »
